  1. We were sold on hope and change sorry your time has come and gone and nothing was done while you had a chance to make a change.

  2. Zoom is ccp company and your also advertising it not an accidental, you also seperated more families than Trump and sent more trips and conducted more hits than any president ever

  3. I can’t take this guy seriously ever.. I just can’t get over how much he looks like curious George.

    1. Beret Malmgren The fact that he said he looks like curious George is not a racist comment loooool

  4. Please go away sir and enjoy your loot from your paymasters. This mess started under your watch. And you did nothing to stop it. Your empty words won’t work on anyone anymore.

  5. There is a history of previous Presidents not criticizing the current President. It is dangerous, and challenges the peaceful transition of power. Obama, shows here, like so many times during his Presidency, why he feels rules/laws/traditions don’t apply to him. 👎

  6. Why hasn’t this former president said anything about the fact that Canada has a racist PM.
    Or is Blackface not an act of racism when a Liberal politician does it? The hypocracy.
